Raptors have better weekend than Colts

Time to tour the Monday morning links:

The Indy Colts are 12-0, but wouldn't ya know it, the Raptors, with Chris Bosh one of five NBAers averaging the gold standard of 20 points and 10 rebounds, had more wins over the weekend.

Christine Sinclair, Canada's top female footballer, scored twice to give her an NCAA record 39 goals on the season and her second NCAA championship at Portland (reg. req'd).

Baseball's winter meetings are on in Dallas, and the Jays are in a trading mood with A.J. Burnett apparently leaning to St. Louis. Closer to home, Bob Elliott delivers with a story of 11-year-old Cain Monaghan -- priceless, indeed.

Across the pond, Croatia wins the Davis Cup and Real Madrid fires another manager, so let the speculation begin on the next big name.

Two of the best around the blogosphere, Jes Golbez at Hockey Rants and Scott Carefoot's Raptorblog are in the final round of voting for best sports blog in what's billed as the Canadian Blog Awards. Check 'em all out here (JABS didn't make the cut. Thanks to my readers who voted, though. All 15 of 'em. *sigh*).
